Just having a look at my CV and it occurred to me that, despite it going back to 2002, nothing before 2006 is in any way relevant. There's also a lot of it, due to much of it being temp jobs. Is it okay to cut off your CV in that way? Like, with job application forms, they only really tend to ask for your last 6 or 7 years worth of employment history. I don't see how my 3 week stint at MacDonalds in October 2002 is in any way a useful piece of info.

But they are interested in your skills and experience, and so if something is relevant (even if a temp job) then put it in. A gap of several years with no explanation would raise alarm-bells. There are loads of tricks to keep your CV nice and brief, but still contain lots of information that you want to get across.
